TEDxSouthCentral: A Decade of Uplifting Voices

Join us for an unforgettable celebration of bold ideas, community brilliance, and ten years of amplifying powerful voices from South Los Angeles and beyond.

This year’s theme, “A Decade of Uplifting Voices,” reflects our continued commitment to creating space for underrepresented perspectives, igniting dialogue, and inspiring action through ideas worth spreading.

• Curated talks from powerful voices in and beyond South LA
• Engaging performances
• A vibrant, intentional community of thinkers, creators, and doers
• Pre-show of onsite activities & vendor booths
• A celebration of the stories that shaped the past decade—and a vision for the future

TEDxSouthCentral is an independently-organized event of TED aimed to activate members of the South Los Angeles community by creating a space to connect, spread ideas, spark conversation, and to address the ongoing evolution of our South Los Angeles community. Started in 2015 as TEDxCrenshaw and evolved to TEDxSouthCentral in 2023, we have reached over 2 million unique viewers, featured 50+ speakers, and engaged over 1000 local South LA residents in person!

Let’s celebrate ten years of vision, voice, and impact—together.
